SYDNEY, April 19

Thousands of Muslims gathered in mosques across Sydney for regular prayers on Friday despite concerns about retaliatory attacks after the police charged a 16-year-old boy with a terrorism offence over the stabbing of a Sydney bishop earlier this week.

The police charged a 16-year-old boy with a terrorism offence on Thursday for the alleged stabbing of Bishop Mar Mari Emmanuel at a church on Monday. The police said they will allege he stabbed the bishop, who is in stable condition in hospital, as many as six times. — Reuters
